Let's analyze the data provided in the table for each month to determine which month had the highest Total Cash Outflow. The relevant section of the table looks like this:
[tex]\[
\begin{array}{|l|r|r|r|r|r|}
\hline
& \text{Recreation} & \text{Insurance} & \text{Miscellaneous} & \text{Total Cash Outflow} \\
\hline
\text{January} & \$ 150 & \$ 185 & \$ 50 & \$ 2,435 \\
\hline
\text{April} & \$ 150 & \$ 185 & \$ 400 & \$ 2,675 \\
\hline
\text{August} & \$ 500 & \$ 185 & \$ 50 & \$ 2,670 \\
\hline
\text{December} & \$ 75 & \$ 185 & \$ 600 & \$ 3,000 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\][/tex]
The Total Cash Outflow values given are:
- January: \[tex]$2,435
- April: \$[/tex]2,675
- August: \[tex]$2,670
- December: \$[/tex]3,000
To determine the month with the highest total cash outflow, we compare these values:
- January: \[tex]$2,435
- April: \$[/tex]2,675
- August: \[tex]$2,670
- December: \$[/tex]3,000
From these comparisons, we see that the highest Total Cash Outflow amount is for the month of December, which is \$3,000. Therefore, the best answer is:
d. December
So the correct selection is:
D
